From Bowling Green, Kentucky and by way of the rough neighborhood of Leyton, England, Cage The Elephant have emerged onto the musical horizon with their grunge-tinged Southern punk.

The five-piece fronted by two brothers, Matt and Brad Shultz, have been touring relentlessly in support of their debut self-titled album. In fact, after playing Lalapalooza, they drove all night from Chicago to visit our studios and chat with Mark Wheat about playing the Letterman show and living in England.

Songs performed: "Ain't No Rest for the Wicked" and "Back Against the Wall."
